Try
set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT_WINDOWED,1024,768,0,0);
Make sure the resolution is smaller than desktop's. But still I'm not sure wheter you will be able to close it with X button.

You need to install a callback for the close button. See the manual for more details.

install callback ??? could you give me a link ?

And why allegro is so different from c++ ??

Allegro is not any different than C++ because allegro is a library for C++ (Or C, depending on how you program.)

I am interested in the close button as well.

set_close_button_callback( my_close_function );

The forum parser isnt recognizing that function so heres the link to the manual

Allegro is very different from C++. Allegro is a library, C++ is a language.
